Kirby Star Allies might be six years old, but Nintendo games have an annoying habit of staying expensive no matter how long in the tooth they get. That’s why you might want to jump on the deal Walmart is currently running. The retailer is offering Kirby Star Allies for $30, half its $60 list price, and the lowest price Walmart has ever offered for the game.
Setting Kirby Star Allies apart from other games in the series is that the “allies” part is literal–while other Kirby games have also offered cooperative play, Star Allies makes co-op a major focus. You’ll get the usual enemy-eating, power-stealing, platform-jumping gameplay Kirby is known for, but with an emphasis on recruiting enemies to your side along the way. GameSpot’s Peter Brown gave the game an 8 when it released, saying, “Star Allies is yet another Kirby game, but it’s up there with some of the best. It’s an artistic showcase, and a great opportunity for co-op platforming.”
